How long have you been on the higher dose of injectables ? I’m wondering if I can get similar injections and libido with the higher dose of test e. I was always super conservative On injections. But now the cream made me realize I feel better overall with higher numbers.
I've been on 175 mg a week for 5 weeks now, after 8 weeks at 140 mg. I had some good libido for awhile there after increasing the dose, around weeks 2 and 3. Kinda blah at the moment, but it is too early to judge. I'll post on my log what's happening at 12 weeks.
I know you use the Hikma brand of Enanthate. Where do you get it from? Local pharmacy? Or like an Empower?
Defy / Empower. It's available at many local pharmacies if you can get a script sent there. Check goodrx.com.
Refresh my memory! what’s your shbg ?
I'm a high SHBG guy, it's 50-60 something off TRT, most recently 44 on 140 mg.
I tend to stay away from anything other than Xyosted. To my knowledge, it's pure testosterone in oil. I don't know if they use an excipient to dissolve it, but if they do, it does not show up on the label.
All the above in my opinion. I thought I read somewhere that the Benzyl are used in some toxic stuff. So are you taking Xyosted now. I just started on compounded cream. Working through the starting BS now. ED is stupid. But I know just give it time.
Yes on Xyosted. I have from time to time and am on it again.
Benzyl benzoate. It is present in massive quantities relative to the other two, and then it is metabolized into benzyl alcohol anyway, so you get plenty of that also.
Thanks, man. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks! Do you know if all generic enanthate is void of benzyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol? Is the Empower's compounded enanthate void of benzyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol? I am also a patient of Defy and am requesting a switch from t cyp to t enanthate. It looks cheaper to have them call it into local pharmacy and use good rx, but you don't know what generic brand you are going to get. Thanks!
A majority of generic pharma enanthate products are devoid of benzyl excipients. I don't know if all of them are though. You could call the pharmacy before you have a script sent there to double check. I do think the hikma T enanthate I am using is the most common generic available nationwide.
Thanks! The bacteriostatic water that I use for my HCG has .9% benzyl alcohol in it. I read the MSDS sheet on chlorobutanol and its not great either (toxic to the liver). Im sure that this is in quantities much greater than that used by Hikma. I think the only way to avoid these things is to use cream, which I have tried. Got great levels, but my DHT was through the roof and never felt great on it.
Sounds familiar….I could get to 720 TT 5 hrs post application with only 50 mg to scrotum….and I preferred the overall feeling I had on cream, but sexual function was hit or miss and I could never figure out why….
2 clicks had me at 1200 TT and 30 FT….Empower brand….but erections we’re still hit or miss….probably because it drove my E2 too high…I was hoping the stuff I had read about DHT countering higher E2 would help that, but it didn’t seem to help (DHT was around 250, E2 58). As I’ve stated elsewhere it seems as though when my E2 gets out of the 30s I can count on soft erections like clockwork….
